Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was never folded. It had some creases, smudges, and stains around the edges. It had stains down the left border and slightly into the images, but fortunately, it does not affect the image very much. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone linenbacked the poster and performed pretty amateur restoration to the stains at left and the top left corner is slightly "lifting" from the linen. Learn More about condition grades
